Confused Whats up people, well I'm not sure if thats the right way to go but I'm trying to close a window in this case notepad in 2 mins. I believe SetTimer is the right way to go. But even there I can't get it to work. I'm developing a WIN32 app.

As we are here one more thing. How to we get the input from a user, from an editbox?

1) call SetTimer with NULL for the callback and 120000 milliseconds count
2) in your messageloop, close notepad on WM_TIMER message
3) call InvalidateRect to stop the timer

SendMessage(editWnd, WM_GETTEXT, (WPARAM)sizeof(Buffer), (LPARAM)Buffer);

Thanks for the fast reply. So this should be right
Code:
SetTimer(hwnd,             
    IDT_TIMER1,           
    120000,               
    (TIMERPROC) NULL);     


Quote:
2) in your messageloop, close notepad on WM_TIMER message


Code:
case WM_TIMER:
 
    switch (wParam)
    {
        case IDT_TIMER1:
            HWND hWin;
            hWin = FindWindow(NULL,"Noptepad");
    SendMessage(hWin,WM_CLOSE,(LPARAM)0,(WPARAM)0);
 
             return 0;
}


Ref from msdn, so I believe I have to add IDT_TIMER1 in resource

you only need to make a unique ID for your timer if you want to call KillTimer. If you use NULL the system will generate a unique timer id for you, but you have the right idea. Just remember to stop the timer once you've closed notepad (unless you want to do it constantly) else it will execute that code every 2 minutes.

Once again thanks a lot, using google for those function is not very promising and using www.koders.com is not helpfully either, Thanks

*EDIT* I searched a bit, and I find it more easy to use
Code:
GetDlgItemText (Hwnd,IDC_EDIT1, buffer, 256);
